Community Shield: Arsenal-Chelsea, confirmed lineups

Arsenal and Chelsea are set to face each other for the first official game of the season in England. The Blues and the Gunners respectively won the Premier League and the FA Cup last season and are now set to battle it out for the first trophy of the 2016/17 campaign.

"To be coach of a great team in England is great, but it also gives you a lot of responsibility”, Conte said in Friday’s press conference.

"When you arrive in England you must be ready to fight big teams with big players against big coaches. This league has made me better than before, I am sure about this."

“Arsenal have a really good squad, they have bought Lacazette, have kept the same squad as last season, and with players like Sanchez and Ozil they have a really good team and a really good squad.”

His Arsenal counterpart Wenger stated: “They have replaced Costa with Morata, maybe less of a goalscorer than Costa but can create more. I expect them to fight for the title. The title race is very open. It’s difficult to predict what can happen.”
